Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240g) sour cream
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your Bundt pan generously and dust it with flour for easy release.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon to make the cinnamon swirl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the sour cream, followed by the milk. The batter may look slightly curdled—this is normal.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter, then top with the remaining batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Notes
Grease every nook and cranny of your Bundt pan to prevent sticking. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake tender. Let the cake cool in the pan for only 10 minutes before turning it out.
